Leap
Year (aka Sadie Hawkins Day) The tradition
actually started with St. Patrick and St. Bridget (5th
Century) in Ireland. St. Bridget complained to St. Patrick that the
sisters in her nunnery were in despair because the prevailing tradition
at the time — that
women had to wait for a proposal of marriage from a man. St. Patrick
agreed to allow women to propose to men every four years,
during Leap Year. Afterwards, Bridget proposed to Patrick only to be
turned down!?) |

1906 Stage
Upsets, People Spill
The narrowest escape from serious accident to be recorded in this locality for years was at the corner of Fifth Street and University Avenue this morning when the Escondido stage overturned at the top of a steep grade. The twelve passengers in the coach were hurled down the side of the canyon into the underbrush, but other than a few bruises and scratches, none of them was hurt. The driver jumped from the overturning vehicle, but was able to secure control of the horses. The United States mail bag and some freight were found halfway down the side of the canyon. The grade is one of the steepest in the county, although it is rare that accidents happen there. It leads into the San Diego River Valley, leaving the city highway at the St. Joseph’s sanitarium. |

reporters, “I like speed.” And today he got a call from Rush Limbaugh: John Kerry won the primaries in Nevada and Washington, DC.
That’s
great. It’s a great night and I’ll tell you why. — here’s more — |
